Hello fellow orchidholics !
 

This Orchid Board was announced in our Orchid Society Newsletter. I have been growing about 6 years...my favs are slippers and phals. I just received my first Award of Merit for the AOS on one of my phals...I grow in a small "treehouse " greenhouse (built on a deck 10ft off the gound), and in a sunroom. I have somewhere between 300-400 orchids...too many !!!

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO !!! That's a lot of plants !!! It must be lovely to always have something in bloom! Here's a question, how many things would you say you have blooming at any given time ?

Thanks Marty for the Welcome !
I have over half blooming all year...maybe more..depending on the season....the majority are in bloom now ...tis the season !

Wow, :drool: .
Welcome to the board! So many people joining as of late, this place is getting busy!
Do you have a specialty?

C'mon Gilda, lets see some pictures of your setup. Throw some pix into that gallery! :biggrin: I'm dying to see it...

post it in the "setups and enclosures" forum, so this place can seem at least a bit organized, hehe

Gilda:
You are a very experienced orchid grower and congrats on your AM on your phal. It takes a lot of patience and good culture for you to get an award for all your hard work. Good to see you on this board as well. I have been growing orchids for 24 years and in the last few years my specialty is in growing Paph species from flask.
